PowerSpout ME 250 - MPPT Enabled Hydro Turbine - 250 Volt DC
PowerSpout MPPT Enabled (ME) 250 - Hydro Turbine
The ME 250 generates a DC voltage (up to 250V DC) to save on cable costs and supports cable lengths of up to 2000 metres. At the end of the cable an MPPT (maximum power point tracker) controller coverts the incoming voltage to that required to charge the batteries. The main advantage of MPPT is that the turbine will set itself up to the correct speed to extract maximum power from the flow without the need for manual adjustment. When the batteries are full the MPPT controller can then turn on a hot water element to divert energy not needed. Note: MPPT and/or hot water element is an extra cost.
Inside the hydro turbine is a fast acting electronic circuit which progressively connects a water element to prevent the voltage rising rapidly. This prevents the turbine from damaging the MPPT controller.
The PowerSpout ME 250 is a durable domestic scale hydro turbine that can be stacked up to 10 units The ME 250 turbine is intended for use with a 12/24/48 V DC battery bank, a maximum power point (MPP) regulator and inverter system. The MPP regulator must be able to handle an input voltage up to 250 V DC such as the Midnite Classic 250. The ME 250 operates at close to the 250 VDC limit of this MPPT regulator. The ME 250 turbine can also be used for grid connect applications where the inverter can operate at up to 250 VDC. The ME 250 product is well suited to sites where the turbine is distant to the point of power consumption. It is fitted with 250 V DC voltage controller so that it cannot produce more than 250 V DC. It has an internal diversion regulator that operates at 240 VDC and in the event of element failure the regulator shorts the generator preventing it from causing over-voltage damage to attached equipment. This is a special order product and a time delay of several weeks can be expected.
Also available: PowerSpout ME100 [HYD-110] for cable distances of up to 750 metres. Designed for MPPT regulators that have a 100V DC limit or for the Latronics grid-tie inverters that are made in Australia.

We install solar systems in Northern NSW and Southern QLD.
QLD:
Gold Coast (from Coolangatta to Southport), Nerang and Hinterland (Beaudesert) and out West (Warwick, Stanthorpe, Killarney)
NSW:
Northern NSW (Tweed Heads to Yamba, including Evans Head, Byron Bay and Ballina); the Far North Coast Hinterland (Grafton via Lismore to Murwillumbah) and out West (Casino to Tenterfield, including Drake and Tabulam, as well as Woodenbong and Bonalbo)
For larger system we also go up to Brisbane or down to Coffs Harbour and even Glen Innes. Other places by arrangement.
